Actually, I'm still wondering how to do this. We need to
1. submit the SELECT to server so that it produces a CURSOR instead of
a result set,
2. fetch and view rows from CURSOR instead of a ready-made result set,
3. handle a new state where a query is running but passive in a way
which enables more interaction than just stopping the current query.
Maybe we can call this state "active".
I'm reading the code but I'm still not crystal clear on where and how
to make those changes. That is where I'm welcoming input. Maybe there
are some classes, methods or properties that you could point me to? If
you've considered it yourself, which parts of code have you thought
you would change, and how?
